PRESIDENT LINCOLN in his mes- sage to Congress in 1861, gave vent to the following note of warning |: "There is one point to which I ask attention; it is the effort to place capital upon an equal footing with, if not above labor, in the structure of the government. l bid the la boring people beware of surrender ing a power which they already possess, and which, surrendered, will surely be used to close the door of advancement to such as they, and fix new disabilities and burdens upon them until all liberty shall be lost"

The reduction of internal revenue and the
taking off of revenue stamps from Proprietary
Medicines, no doubt has largely benefited the
consumers, as well as relieving the burden OF
home manufacturers. Especially is this the
case with Green's August Flower and Bos-
chee's German Syrup, as the reduction OF
thirty. six cents per dozen, has been added to
increase the size Of the bottles containing
these remedies, thereby giving one-6fth more
medicine in the IS cent size. The Augu t
Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint
and the German Syrup for cough and lung
troubles, have perhaps, the largest sale o. any
medicine in the world The advantage Of in
creased size of the bottles will be greatly APP
preciated by the sick aud afflicted, in every
town and village in civilized countries. Sam
pie Lottles for l0cts remain the same size.
